Yes, this really happened

Young women now are the first large ever cohort raised with evidence of their abilities. They have the grades. They outperform boys academically in most countries. They navigate emotional complexity earlier and more fluently. They are socially, linguistically, and cognitively competent in ways that are measured and documented. So when a young man reacts with surprise, hostility, or wounded ego, it is not just sexist, it is irrational. It makes zero sense. It can only be based in arrogance. And that is what makes it infuriating. Because the message young women receive now is not “you are not capable”. It is “you are capable, but please pretend you aren’t, because my identity depends on being exceptional by default, be a nice girl and give up your space for a man who will be upset if he doesn’t achieve this”. That creates a specific kind of psychological whiplash: be confident, but not threatening, be intelligent, but don’t correct, be competent, but act grateful, be ambitious, but cushion male pride. And when a man feels emasculated by female competence, the burden is quietly placed on the woman to manage his emotions about a reality she did not create. How he feels lonely, he feels useless, he feels unwanted, he feels irrelevant. It is still always about him. Because it was never about a woman being unable to do something. It was about her oppression and passivity being utilised to falsify and inflate masculine sense of purpose and pride.

Turns out women get more autoimmune diseases from suppressed anger and trauma...so basically every time you don't flip a table, your immune system takes a hit. Moral of the story? Throw the fucking chair, girl. It's preventative medicine

what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this???

If my wife can't do my laundry then I'd rather marry a fellow man. Because then we'd have a lot of interesting things to talk about like football etc
